Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the opinion on this statement: "The attributes of Allah do not share anything with the attributes of the created beings except in name only"?
Answer:
No, that is not correct. They share in both the name and the meaning. This is what they call mutawati. Mutawati is a type of word that shares in both the wording and the meaning. This is mutawati; they call it mutawati. There is no harm in sharing in the meaning. The harm lies in sharing in the modality. The modality—this is not correct. Sharing in the modality is invalid. They do not share in the modality, but they do share in the meaning. Yes.
